I sort-of agree, but maybe not on the term "human brain".
I think there is definitely something (or several things) in that brain that is extremely good at fuzzy messes of correlations. It's just not the conscious mind that maybe some people think of as their "self".
After all, those difficult image-recognition and language tasks are carried out by the human brain, even if we can't explain how they work in the "explainer" part of our mind.
Tangentially related, I find the split-brain experiments fascinating[1], in how they demonstrate clearly that there can be multiple "consciousnesses" at work, and the one that does the talking is only one of them, and is not necessarily running the show.
